If you are seeking a good quality then do not expect that this will be the product to buy. For the cost you pay, it may be OK, but personally I prefer to pay some extra and get a better product like Dura-Stick II Electrotherapy Electrodes, it cost almost double, but defiantly it is much better

Beware that the adhesive conducting layer is not good at all and that will limit the number of times you use it.

Also, the shipping price is so expensive - but it is also expensive on the other product I am suggesting to use.

The price of the electrodes was great, but the shipping cost nearly doubled the price. The product did arrive relatively quickly, but I would appreciate a chance to pay less for shipping and wait a little longer for the item.

They work well the first time, maybe the second - but after that the gel quickly disappears and they fall off the skin quite easily. With medical needs coming first, you are best off to get high quality pads that can be used over a couple weeks. The brand (I forget the name this moment) that my physical therapist uses kept working even after two weeks. I don't know if the ones reliamed ships are just old, or just not very high quality but you will waste more money by going through the pads quickly rather than purchasing higher quality pads at a higher price. Buyer beware.

Good adhesive, but not lasting for multiple usage. They stick on good, not irritating to the skin. However they do not last for many days if the skin is not preped or clean..

I don't write a negative review lightly, nor often. However when a product claims "40" uses, then notes it depends on so many variables, I would expect to get at least 4-5 uses our of a package of electrodes. I get 2-3 uses
per set of 4.

I have tried taking showers prior to usage allowing my body to completely dry. I have used Alcohol wipe prep pads to remove any oils from my skin
just prior to use assuring the skin is dry and clean. Yet, after the first use the edges start to lift up. The 3rd use a pad or two will not stick securely enough. When the pad does not adhere to the skin surface well you end up with the current arching slightly on the skin and this concentrates the charge in a small pinpoint location causing burning
and discomfort.

I even tried using the unit on my wife with a similar set of processes to ensure it was just not my body over producing skin oils or some other personal issue. Usage on my wife achieved similar results.

A previous reviewer reviewed the dual channel (twin Stem TENS unit) and noted to "toss the included electrodes they are junk" and purchase an alternate suppliers electrodes for the unit. A package of 4 of these electrodes are included with the unit. Excellent advice, however since I can't find that review, I just asked my Physical Therapist which they used and ordered several pair. Much better. So my recommendation is ask your PT which ones they use and order them instead. They are "The cheapest pads around" for a reason. Avoid unless you can afford to toss them out after one use.

You have to replace them quite often, because of the adhesive. In the other hand, good conductivity.

Those who say these are the best TENS pads ever, I don't think they've ever used a good TENS pad to know better, 'cause these aren't the best, or even close to it. They aren't horrible, and they work okay the first couple of times, but after that, the gel really breaks down. For me, that wasn't a big deal, since I had some electrode gel on hand to use to re-gel them. I think for the hassle, and for the cost, I'd rather get something a little more expensive that work better and stick and gel better.

Plus, I'm not sure what the black bag in the picture is, because the pads came in the mail in simple plastic bags, with no writing or anything else on them.

I haven't used any of the extra electrodes I ordered, but they are just like the other ones that I have used and they were great.

These electrodes are very good. I'm glad I got them. They have longevity and sticking power. If you're like me and can't afford some expensive, fancy electrodes, then these are perfect. They get the job done, and I've been able to re-use them again and again. I will buy these again when I run out (but I don't expect that to be for a while).

They were exactly like the ReliaMed Pads that came with my ReliaMed TENS unit. Fits exactly. You may get two uses out of each set, but I don't bother trying. If you're not moving, and they aren't going to be hanging upside-down, you can probably get two uses. Prep the skin with alcohol first.
